President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order establishing the White House Great American Recovery Initiative to address the nation’s addiction crisis. The order states that 48.4 million Americans, or 16.8 percent of the population, suffer from substance use disorder, with 38.1 million adults not receiving treatment despite needing it. The initiative, co-chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Senior Advisor for Addiction Recovery, will coordinate federal, healthcare, and community efforts to improve treatment access and recovery support. It includes 15 federal agencies and officials, with mandates to align programs, increase awareness, and remove systemic barriers to care. The order emphasizes treating addiction as a chronic disease requiring evidence-based solutions and cross-sector collaboration.
